Thinking Outside The Sandbox: Ideas from the Thrift Store

If your sandbox could use a little pick me up this summer, try stopping by a thrift store before you hit the toy store. They've got a lot of cool stuff for making your sandbox an imagination station 

and it's all cheap!

Here are some of my favorite finds:

For your little pretend gardener,

flower pots, fake flowers, and scoops

For your builder or sand chef,

Scoops, random kitchen utensils, cookie cutters, 

measuring cups, plastic plates, and baking pans

For your little treasure hunter, 

bags of beads or marbles

Now our kids just need some new sand! 

Cheers, friends! 

To repurposing and to inspiring play!
